History

In the early 19th century, Notre Dame Academy was a day and boarding school in downtown Cincinnati.[4] Because of the poor conditions on Sixth Street, the school transferred the boarding school to a serene perch in Reading in 1860.[4] Three decades later, day school students joined them.[4] MND became a diocesan high school in 1956 and has perpetuated their strong legacy as the oldest all-female academy in Cincinnati.[4]

Academics

MND offers a curriculum of over 100 courses configured to prepare and develop students for higher education.[5] 20 Advanced Placement (AP) curricula can challenge high schoolers to obtain college credit.

Academic Honor Societies include Latin Club, Mu Alpha Theta, National Honor Society, Rho Kappa, and more.

Admissions

Mount Notre Dame welcomes all young women who desire an education. Admission acceptance is determined by a board of guidance counselors, administrators, and staff who review each application.

MND’s admission process includes an online application. MND will request school records from each applicant’s current school.  School records typically include grade reports from 6th, 7th and first quarter/trimester of 8th grade, prior standardized test scores, and copies of any IEP/Accommodation plans.[6]

Extracurricular activities

Athletics

MND has won 25 state championships and six state runner up titles in five different sports.[7] Fall sports include cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, tennis, volleyball. Basketball, bowling, and swimming & diving are in the winter. MND's spring sports are lacrosse, softball, and track & field. The Cougars compete in the Ohio High School Athletic Association and the Girls Greater Catholic League, "upholding integrity, sportsmanship, respect, and responsibility."[7]
